Safety, trust & environment

I am great at following directions. Want to measure their food by grams? Done. Just let me know where the scale is. I will make sure your fur-baby is cared for & secured before I leave.

Val was great! The kittens were mischievous and Val did a great job with them! Very communicative about what was happening and sending pictures!

Your cat is in excellent hands with Val! She leaves detailed notes and spends quality time with our cat - petting and playing lazer with her. She also administers her medications. I completely trust that our cat is well taken care of when we’re away, and I can tell our cat Lola loves her!

Val did an excellent job taking care of my cats! I could tell they were very comfortable with her. She made sure they had food and water, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them and giving them lots of scratches. I would definitely book with Val again and highly recommend her!

Val was absolutely amazing checking in on my cats. She made sure they always had fresh food and water, and she took the time to play with them and give them attention. It was clear my cats really enjoyed her company and felt comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was also very flexible and easy to work with, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Val to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again!

Val was great and took great care of my kitties. She even brought extra toys for them to play with and sent the best updates and pictures. I'll definitely book again!

Please let me know whether your pet has any dietary restrictions or if they have any triggers I should keep them away from (bikes, busy streets, other dogs, etc). I generally will not take dogs to dog parks or allow them to approach other dogs for your pets safety (unless you ask).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
